Gaurav Khanna, once an underdog in the kitchen, has risen through the ranks with sheer grit, determination, and remarkable culinary growth. While his journey began on a rocky note—his early dishes failing to impress the judges—it’s his transformation that has become the talk of the season.

In a recent challenge designed to test the contestants' weaknesses, each was given an ingredient they typically struggled with. Gaurav was handed ginger—a tricky element, especially considering that a previous dish he made using it wasn’t even palatable to judge Farah Khan.
But this time, Gaurav turned the tables.
Tasked with making ginger the star of his dish, he crafted a culinary masterpiece that not only redeemed him but left the judges stunned. Even before tasting, the judging panel—Ranveer Brar, Vikas Khanna, and Farah Khan—honoured him with a symbolic ‘spoon tap’, a gesture never seen before on the show. Their verdict? The dish was nothing short of extraordinary, worthy of a finale win.
An emotional Vikas Khanna was visibly moved. “I want to cry—it’s such a soulful dish,” he said, describing the plate as spiritually uplifting. He went on to commend Gaurav’s approach throughout the competition, noting that he was the only contestant who truly immersed himself in the learning process—researching, experimenting, and refining with each round.
“Gaurav never assumed success. He worked for it. His passion, humility, and perseverance are what brought him this far,” Vikas added, praising his unrelenting attitude.
Judging by the unanimous admiration from all three judges, it’s clear they see a winner in Gaurav. With the finale looming, fans and foodies alike are now waiting with bated breath to see whether this culinary phoenix will rise all the way to the top.
One thing’s for certain—Gaurav Khanna has already left a lasting legacy in the Celebrity MasterChef India kitchen.
